None of that nonsense has the slightest thing to do with this case.
It's simply not relevant.
Sorry. FAIL!
Just because you don't understand the relevance of the information given, does not mean it is not relevant. Your opinion of "success" or "fail" does NOT make it so.
This week the defense filed a motion to unseal the settlement documents that Crump filed with the court.
He filed them as part of the criminal case for some unknown reason and claimed in his filing that he also gave O'Mara a copy, but O'Mara says in the new filing that he was not given a copy.
In the attachments for the new filing- O'Mara has letters between the Martin family attorneys and the home owners association. Here's some interesting dates.
Feb. 26th- Trayvon killed
Feb 27th- The Martins found out he is dead
Feb 28th- Martin family hires Crump- a civil attorney
March 5th- Crump hired PR guy Ryan Julison
That's pretty sad. I wonder if Crump solicited their business. The fact that he ran right out and hired a PR guy tells me he lies in wait for these kinds of cases.
prolly because the police did the interrogation and say no reason to charge GZ.
charges were only brought AFTER Racist like obama got involved.
this whole trial is racism at its finest...
Once AGAIN, the TEA PARTY REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR of Florida, Rick Scott, appointed a REPUBLICAN special prosecutor to investigate the case, she did investigate and found probable cause to charge Zimmerman.
NOW, are you saying that a Tea Party REPUBLICAN Governor would follow Obama regarding how to deal with a state issue like this? Are you saying that a REPUBLICAN State Attorney would file bogus charges because she is following Obama?
Ah, yes, certainly Tea Party Republicans are just soooo eager to support Obama and work with him and follow his lead, of course this is all Obama's fault.:rol leyes:

and what is in fact prudent action. Amazing how bias can create such uninformed opinions when there is an enormous lack of factual knowledge about a situation.

Reason: rude
YES! YES it WAS! He had a reason. He had a SUSPICIOUS person in his neighborhood.
Half of the people in this nation are officially F**Ked up... with zero common sense. Figure out which half that is.
Zimmerman did NOT have a "SUSPICIOUS" person in his neighborhood. There was simply a teenage boy walking back from the store to the home he was staying at (where he had every right to be).
There has been ZERO evidence presented to indicate that Trayvon was doing anything suspicious.

Have we become so pussified as a nation that we can do absolutely nothing without the government (in this case the police)?
Well, how about the fact that the police are trained to respond to so-called "suspicious" people? As opposed to a wannabe vigilante, who may have been on anti-psychotic drugs and/or been drinking that night (we'll probably never know for sure since law enforcement didn't test him), Zimmerman was neither trained for, nor even supposed to be (per HOA guidelines), following a "suspicious" teenager who simply had Skittles and iced tea on him.
Do you really want to live in a country where it is ok for everyone to take the law into their own hands? To be judge, jury, and executioner?
Where any untrained wannabe vigilante with a gun and emotional issues can decide who's "suspicious" and to be free to take whatever actions he (or she) thinks is ok?
I wonder if you would think that if that were a child of yours shot dead by someone who took the law into their own hands.

And then to DEFEND the unlawful actions of a PUNK thug, one who ATTACKED someone, brutally beating them.
For one thing, that "brutal" beating didn't even require stitches, or even a trip to the hospital. Quit exaggerating.
And, secondly, you don't know who took the first punch or what was said between the two before the "beating" any more than I do.
You don't know that Trayvon was doing anything unlawful; for all any of us know at this point, he could very well have felt that HE was acting in self defense.
Obviously that poster MUST live far, far, far out in a rural area if he/she actually followed people "committing a crime" and was basically in their faces. Of course the key words here would be "actually followed"....
Then to suggest that we ALL do things like that is enormously bizarre, maybe even beyond bizarre.
Oh, yeah.
Just what we need - a country full of idiots with guns, and based on what I have seen here on City Data from a lot of the rantings from the gun huggers, quite possibly with mental issues, patrolling our streets and backroads, hoping for an opportunity to shoot someone.
I have become convinced that there are a lot of people who have guns who shouldn't - just from the crap they post here.
What a country this would be if those same people were allowed to take the law into their own hands, becoming judge, jury, and executioner every time they saw something "suspicious."
That's pretty sad. I wonder if Crump solicited their business. The fact that he ran right out and hired a PR guy tells me he lies in wait for these kinds of cases.
So what exactly makes you "wonder" if Crump solicited "their business" (their being Martin's family?)
Why does the "fact" he ran out and hired a PR guy make you think Crump "lies in wait" for these kinds of cases? Do you know anything at all about Crump's reputation as an attorney? In fact, he may have a good reputation and/or the Martin family could have been referred to him. Do you know whether or not Crump has ever had any Bar complaints? Is it possible that people who have a negative bias toward the Martins may also have a negative bias toward Crump....does that make any sense, could that be possible?
Benjamin L. Crump is a principal with the Tallahassee firm of Parks & Crump, LLC. Recently, Attorney Crump received the distinction as the first African-American to be named Philanthropist of the Year from the Association of Fundraising Professions in recognition of his donation of $1,000,000.00 to the Legal Services of North Florida. Attorney Crump was distinguished amongst Florida Trend’s Legal Elite and awarded the NAACP Legal Defense Fund Bootstrap Award in tribute to his enduring pursuit of justice, his outstanding advocacy on behalf of many who are without means of redress and for leaving footprints on the sands of time that others can follow. He received his Bachelor’s degree in 1992 in Criminal Justice from Florida State University, where he served as two-term Black Student Union President, President of the Order of Omega and the inaugural President of the Burning Spear. He then earned his Juris Doctorate from the FSU College of Law in 1995 and will become the first African-American Chairman of the Law School Board of Directors for the 2009 administration.
Dale, did you notice on the left-hand side of the page under the caption "Areas of Practice" that one of the three areas listed there is "Wrongful Death"......along with "Personal Injury" and "Medical Malpractice"??? Do you think the fact that Mr. Crump has experience in the area of "Wrong Death" litigation and specializes in that area of the law would cause someone looking for an attorney with that specialization to contact Mr. Crump, or do you think other attorneys who do not do wrongful death cases might just recommend Mr. Crump to the Martins? And, yes, it makes sense that the Martins would consider their son's death to be a wrongful death. IMO any reasonable person would think the same thing. And, as it turns out, the HOA insurance company agreed it was a wrongful death.
Also, I'm thinking that an attorney who can make a $1 million donation to Legal Services is not likely to be an attorney who is out "chasing ambulances" looking for business. You know what I mean?
Hope you will read the link about Mr. Crump as that information may just resolve some of your "wonderings" about his credentials, his experience, and why people call him to represent them in CIVIL CASES.
Benjamin L. Crump, Florida Bar, Member in Good Standing, and there has been no disciplinary action taken by the Florida Bar in re this member for over a ten-year period. MEMBER IN GOOD STANDING.

Are you saying that a REPUBLICAN State Attorney would file bogus charges because she is following Obama?
